My mom's ashes are here.

850

00:
59:30,733 -- 00:59:33,026

- How many times have you gone?

- Three.

851

00:
59:33,069 -- 00:59:34,987

How many are you gonna do?

852

00:
59:35,029 -- 00:59:37,364

One more than my body

tells me I can.

853

00:
59:38,700 -- 00:59:40,325

That was in the mailbox.

854

00:
59:44,038 -- 00:59:45,872

Hey, don't wear your legs out!

855

00:
59:45,915 -- 00:59:47,207

We're goin' to a party!

856

00:
59:49,586 -- 00:59:51,044

It's a good idea you had.

857

00:
59:51,087 -- 00:59:53,880

Thanks for goin' along with it.

858

00:
59:53,923 -- 00:59:57,217

She's on my team.

No arguments, birthday boy.

859

00:
59:57,844 -- 01:00:00,053

I tried to invite Dale.

860

01:
00:00,096 -- 01:00:02,764

I was hopin' we could make up

and all be friends,

861

01:
00:02,807 -- 01:00:04,057

but no one's seen him.

862

01:
00:05,059 -- 01:00:07,060

Well, how about this

for a replacement?

863

01:
00:09,772 -- 01:00:10,897

Leo?

864

01:
00:10,940 -- 01:00:12,274

Holly?

865

01:
00:13,985 -- 01:00:15,319

Hey, you.

866

01:
00:19,490 -- 01:00:21,408

Am I the only one

gettin' older around here?

867

01:
00:21,451 -- 01:00:23,619

- No.

- You haven't changed a bit.

868

01:
00:23,661 -- 01:00:24,620

Yes, she has.

869

01:
00:24,662 -- 01:00:26,622

She never would have done

something like this

870

01:
00:26,664 -- 01:00:29,374

back in the day -

our little granola girl.

871

01:
00:29,417 -- 01:00:31,585

- What's up, Marine?

- Hey!

872

01:
00:31,628 -- 01:00:33,003

Ready to play?

873

01:
00:33,671 -- 01:00:35,255

Green team get ready!

874

01:
00:37,925 -- 01:00:39,217

Red team get ready!

875

01:
00:39,927 -- 01:00:41,595

OK, everybody, don't bunch up,

876

01:
00:41,638 -- 01:00:43,722

but always keep a teammate

within eyesight.

877

01:
00:43,765 -- 01:00:45,599

Let's paint these losers!

878

01:
00:46,643 -- 01:00:48,101

Here we go...

879

01:
00:48,144 -- 01:00:49,936

You might want to

tuck your head down.

880

01:
00:51,648 -- 01:00:53,106

Hey, beanpole.

881

01:
00:58,529 -- 01:01:00,614

That came outta nowhere.

882

01:
01:00,657 -- 01:01:02,115

Usually does.

883

01:
01:03,868 -- 01:01:05,243

Get your hand up.

884

01:
01:18,966 -- 01:01:20,550

That wasn't nice.

885

01:
01:21,469 -- 01:01:23,095

Happy birthday, Leo.

886

01:
01:25,139 -- 01:01:26,139

Hey, Stenny.

887

01:
01:27,684 -- 01:01:29,142

F***!

888

01:
01:29,185 -- 01:01:31,561

Stenny!

I'm on your team!

889

01:
01:31,604 -- 01:01:33,021

Oops!

890

01:
01:33,064 -- 01:01:34,147

You're outta there!

891

01:
01:34,190 -- 01:01:36,024

- Sorry, OK?

- F***.

892

01:
01:37,735 -- 01:01:39,319

That was quick.

893

01:
01:39,362 -- 01:01:40,612

Friendly fire.

894

01:
01:41,698 -- 01:01:43,323

Yellow...

895

01:
01:43,366 -- 01:01:45,367

Looks like alien blood.

896

01:
01:45,410 -- 01:01:46,993

Better than the red stuff.

897

01:
01:48,079 -- 01:01:49,705

I don't know, you know...

898

01:
01:49,747 -- 01:01:53,500

I mean, workin' out,

makin' beds, gettin' yelled at -

899

01:
01:53,543 -- 01:01:54,668

that's one thing.

900

01:
01:54,711 -- 01:01:56,920

But killin' people,

that's something else.

901

01:
01:58,297 -- 01:02:00,674

I can't even get

a spider out of the tub.

902

01:
02:00,717 -- 01:02:03,760

The military is gonna

train you to do lots of things.

903

01:
02:03,803 -- 01:02:05,971

Non-killer stuff.

904

01:
02:06,013 -- 01:02:08,974

I think there's only a week of

rifle training in the Air Force.

905

01:
02:10,059 -- 01:02:12,310

Still...

906

01:
02:12,353 -- 01:02:14,813

I just don't think

I have it in me.

907

01:
02:14,856 -- 01:02:19,025

That impulse, or instinct,

or whatever it is.

908

01:
02:22,947 -- 01:02:25,407

Yeah, baby, eat paint!

909

01:
02:29,078 -- 01:02:31,997

The green team is drunk drivers.

910

01:
02:35,293 -- 01:02:38,795

The red team is your family...

Alive.

911

01:
02:47,305 -- 01:02:48,513

Damn!

912

01:
02:49,390 -- 01:02:50,724

Bastard!

913

01:
02:52,018 -- 01:02:53,393

I'm out!

914

01:
02:56,522 -- 01:02:59,357

[whistle blows]

New game!

915

01:
02:59,400 -- 01:03:01,735

Stenny, you head up

the left flank.

916

01:
03:01,778 -- 01:03:03,945

Everyone, if you stick

in one spot too long

917

01:
03:03,988 -- 01:03:05,739

you just broadcast

your position.

918

01:
03:06,240 -- 01:03:08,533

Turk? Turk?!

919

01:
03:08,576 -- 01:03:10,452

Keep movin'... I got it.

920

01:
03:16,959 -- 01:03:18,335

Let's go.

921

01:
03:25,301 -- 01:03:27,594

Keep your head down

and check your colors before you shoot.

922

01:
03:27,637 -- 01:03:29,638

Don't shoot your teammate.

Go, go!

923

01:
04:00,628 -- 01:04:01,628

Yes.

924

01:
04:01,671 -- 01:04:02,671

That's my girl.

925

01:
04:10,054 -- 01:04:11,596

Saffron, keep moving!

926

01:
04:11,639 -- 01:04:13,181

Move up! I'll cover you!

927

01:
04:31,951 -- 01:04:33,994

Ow!!!

928

01:
04:50,011 -- 01:04:51,052

Holly?

929

01:
04:52,555 -- 01:04:54,514

That's for your

next birthday, sunshine.

930

01:
04:54,557 -- 01:04:57,976

Leo, you son of a b*tch!

931

01:
04:58,019 -- 01:04:59,895

Holly, we're on the same team!

932

01:
05:02,899 -- 01:05:03,982

Get him!

933

01:
05:09,739 -- 01:05:11,698

Try not to get paint everywhere!

934

01:
05:11,741 -- 01:05:13,533

It's more like colored

egg whites or something.

935

01:
05:13,576 -- 01:05:15,535

Try not to get eggs everywhere.

936

01:
05:15,578 -- 01:05:18,079

Stenny, which one is red?

937

01:
05:18,122 -- 01:05:20,040

He can't tell you that.

938

01:
05:20,082 -- 01:05:21,833

He's color blind,

ain't you, Stenny?

939

01:
05:21,876 -- 01:05:25,128

You shot me twice

in the back!

940

01:
05:25,171 -- 01:05:27,464

My aim just really sucks.

941

01:
05:27,506 -- 01:05:28,632

Here you go.

942

01:
05:28,674 -- 01:05:31,134

Wait, hold on.

She's got a big day tomorrow.

943

01:
05:31,177 -- 01:05:34,220

I'm taking her down

to the recruiting station.

944

01:
05:34,263 -- 01:05:36,056

- Excuse me?

- It's time.

945

01:
05:36,098 -- 01:05:37,390

You sure about that?

946

01:
05:37,433 -- 01:05:39,392

Yep, you're strong enough now.

947

01:
05:39,435 -- 01:05:42,062

Not quite as much of a punk

as she used to be either.

948

01:
05:42,188 -- 01:05:44,022

I don't know about that.

949

01:
05:44,065 -- 01:05:46,024

Seriously, though...

950

01:
05:46,067 -- 01:05:48,026

After everything you've

been through,

951

01:
05:48,069 -- 01:05:51,613

after all you've survived,

that is saying a hell of a lot.

952

01:
05:52,615 -- 01:05:54,115

To Saffron...

953

01:
05:54,158 -- 01:05:57,619

I think you've already made

a lot of people very proud.

954

01:
05:57,662 -- 01:05:59,746

To Saffron!

955

01:
06:02,041 -- 01:06:04,000

Hey, she's gotta

have a beer now!

956

01:
06:05,711 -- 01:06:07,253

Her eyeballs are sweating.

957

01:
06:07,296 -- 01:06:08,797

958

01:
06:10,132 -- 01:06:12,425

Girls are awesome.

959

01:
06:12,468 -- 01:06:15,136

I'm gonna drop her at home.
